Diamond Club
Social Inclusion
Funds would help us provide a weekly Zumba class for older adults, helping keep minds and bodies active and reducing isolation.
About this cause
The Diamond club provides a once weekly group for older adults to attend and take part in a wide range of stimulating activities designed to keep Minds and Bodies active. Such as seated Zumba, short story reading group, workshops and talks on topics related to health and wellbeing as well as areas of local interest. The group goes on outings to the local theatre and on trips to the seaside. It links closely with the next door school Holy Cross and takes part in lovely intergenerational projects such as tea parties and concerts. The group links with the community initiatives and supports events wherever possible. The group has been running for 17 years and is at the heart of the community of Catford.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The project will give more opportunites for older people to access activites that will benefit physical health and mental wellbeing. The community will benefit from having older people engaged in community initiatives who are supported by the communites they live in. The local community will be seen as leading the way in providing Age friendly activites and offering volunteering opportunites.
